Stream: Young Thug & Bloody Jay, “Parade”

Black Portland remains intact, even with both Young Thug and Bloody Jay currently arrested, with new track “Parade.”

Even with both Young Thug and Bloody Jay currently arrested for separate incidents (Thug for "drug possession, driving without a seat belt, reckless conduct and driving in a circular or zig-zag course 'laying drags'"), Black Portland lives on. It seems they'll continue working as a duo following their excellent collaborative mixtape: they've promised another project slated for release this summer, True Blood. Its first single, "Parade," is closer to earnest, pop-aspiring tracks from earlier in Thug's catalogue (see "Who's On Top" and "Fuckin Witha" from I Came From Nothing 2), with its triumphant horns and ecstatic hook: Stand up on that stage, I love all my fans, mama say hooray, everyone clap your hands.
